We Witnessed Something Special

The Pistons beat the Cavs, embarrassingly ended a great playoff run for LeBron James. But this was the first building block in what is going to be a great career. As much as I want Melo to someday be remembered as the better player LeBron took a huge leap past him this postseason. He carried a mediocre team to within one game of eliminating the Pistons. He had a great first half of game 7, but he couldn't do anything against the Pistons' doubleteams in the second. LeBron will get there but he could also use a better supporting cast. He made 11 shots, the rest of his team made only 9, leading the worst game 7 performance ever.
Larry Hughes who tragically lost his brother (not the gay one) during the series is not enough help. The Cavs were 0-4 with him, 3-0 without him against Detroit.

Yeah, he pretty much proved that a team consisting of him, you, me, the Concierge, and Pizza Parlor Derek (with 6th man Tommy Hilfiger as enforcer) could have a decent showing in the playoffs.
